A DSC thermogram of Compound 1 MSA salt monohydrate Form 2 is depicted in FIG. 6A.

A TGA thermogram of of Compound 1 MSA salt monohydrate Form 2 is depicted in FIG. 6B.

TGA data of Compound 1 MSA Salt monohydrate Form 2 indicated about 3.5% weight loss from up to approximately 100° C. Weight loss corresponds to approximately one mole of water per mole of API.

DSC data of Compound 1 MSA Salt monohydrate Form 2 indicated a broad endotherm was observed in the range ca. 90-150° C. which corresponds to dehydration of Compound 1 MSA Salt monohydrate Form 2, as observed in the TGA.

Compound 1 MSA monohydrate Form 2 can be in substantially pure form, that is, having a purity of about 90% or greater, based on the weight of the compound, as determined by HPLC. For example, Compound 1 MSA monohydrate Form 2 can have a purity of about 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, or 100%. The remaining material can comprise other solid forms of Compound 1 and/or reaction impurities and/or processing impurities arising from its preparation.

Mixtures of Compound 1 MSA monohydrate Form 2 with other solid forms of Compound 1 are also within the scope of the disclosure. In these embodiments, such mixtures can comprise less than 90%, based on the weight of the mixture, of Compound 1 MSA monohydrate Form 2. For example, mixtures can comprise 85, 80, 75, 70, 65, 60, 55, 50, 45, 40, 35, 30, 25, 20, 15, 10, or about 5%, by weight of the mixture, of Compound 1 MSA monohydrate Form 2.

Samples of the crystalline forms described herein (e.g., Compound 1 free base Form 4, Compound 1 free base hydrate Form 2, Compound 1 MSA salt Form 1, Compound 1 MSA salt monohydrate Form 2) may be provided with substantially pure phase homogeneity, indicating the presence of a dominant amount of a single crystalline form and optionally minor amounts of one or more other crystalline forms. The presence of more than one crystalline form in a sample may be determined by techniques such as powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) or solid state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (ssNMR). For example, the presence of extra peaks in the comparison of an experimentally measured PXRD pattern with a simulated PXRD pattern may indicate more than one crystalline form in the sample. The simulated PXRD may be calculated from single crystal X-ray data, see Smith, D. K., A FORTRAN Program for Calculating X-Ray Powder Diffraction Patterns, Lawrence Radiation Laboratory, Livermore, Calif., UCRL-7196 (April 1963). Preferably, the crystalline form has substantially pure phase homogeneity as indicated by 10% or less, preferably 5% or less, and more preferably 2% or less of the total peak area in the experimentally measured PXRD pattern arising from the extra peaks that are absent from the simulated XRPD pattern. Most preferred is a crystalline form having substantially pure phase homogeneity with 1% or less of the total peak area in the experimentally measured PXRD pattern arising from the extra peaks that are absent from the simulated PXRD pattern.

The various solid forms described herein may be distinguishable from one another through the use of various analytical techniques known to one of ordinary skill in the art. Such techniques include, but are not limited to, solid state nuclear magnetic resonance (ssNMR) spectroscopy, X-ray powder diffraction (PXRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and/or thermogravimetric analysis (TGA).

One of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that an X-ray diffraction pattern may be obtained with a measurement error that is dependent upon the measurement conditions employed. In particular, it is generally known that intensities in an X-ray diffraction pattern may fluctuate depending upon measurement conditions employed. It should be further understood that relative intensities may also vary depending upon experimental conditions and, accordingly, the exact order of intensity should not be taken into account. Additionally, a measurement error of diffraction angle for a conventional X-ray diffraction pattern is typically about ±0.2 degrees 2θ, and such degree of measurement error should be taken into account as pertaining to the aforementioned diffraction angles. Consequently, it is to be understood that the crystal forms of the instant invention are not limited to the crystalline forms that provide X-ray diffraction patterns completely identical to the X-ray diffraction patterns depicted in the accompanying Figures disclosed herein. Any crystalline forms that provide X-ray diffraction patterns substantially identical to those disclosed in the accompanying Figures fall within the scope of the present invention. The ability to ascertain substantial identities of X-ray diffraction patterns is within the purview of one of ordinary skill in the art.

The present invention also includes pharmaceutical kits useful, for example, in the treatment or prevention of IDO-associated diseases or disorders, obesity, diabetes and other diseases referred to herein which include one or more containers containing a pharmaceutical composition comprising a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of the invention. Such kits can further include, if desired, one or more of various conventional pharmaceutical kit components, such as, for example, containers with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, additional containers, as will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art. Instructions, either as inserts or as labels, indicating quantities of the components to be administered, guidelines for administration, and/or guidelines for mixing the components, can also be included in the kit.

The combination therapy is intended to embrace administration of these therapeutic agents in a sequential manner, that is, wherein each therapeutic agent is administered at a different time, as well as administration of these therapeutic agents, or at least two of the therapeutic agents, in a substantially simultaneous manner. Substantially simultaneous administration can be accomplished, for example, by administering to the subject a single dosage form having a fixed ratio of each therapeutic agent or in multiple, single dosage forms for each of the therapeutic agents. Sequential or substantially simultaneous administration of each therapeutic agent can be effected by any appropriate route including, but not limited to, oral routes, intravenous routes, intramuscular routes, and direct absorption through mucous membrane tissues. The therapeutic agents can be administered by the same route or by different routes. For example, a first therapeutic agent of the combination selected may be administered by intravenous injection while the other therapeutic agents of the combination may be administered orally. Alternatively, for example, all therapeutic agents may be administered orally or all therapeutic agents may be administered by intravenous injection. Combination therapy also can embrace the administration of the therapeutic agents as described above in further combination with other biologically active ingredients and non-drug therapies (e.g., surgery or radiation treatment). Where the combination therapy further comprises a non-drug treatment, the non-drug treatment may be conducted at any suitable time so long as a beneficial effect from the co-action of the combination of the therapeutic agents and non-drug treatment is achieved. For example, in appropriate cases, the beneficial effect is still achieved when the non-drug treatment is temporally removed from the administration of the therapeutic agents, perhaps by days or even weeks.

Pharmaceutical Compositions and Dosing

The disclosure also provides pharmaceutically acceptable compositions which comprise a therapeutically effective amount of one or more of the solid forms described herein, formulated together with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers (additives) and/or diluents, and optionally, one or more additional therapeutic agents.

The solid forms of the disclosure can be administered for any of the uses described herein by any suitable means, for example, orally, such as tablets, capsules (each of which includes sustained release or timed release formulations), pills, powders, granules, elixirs, tinctures, suspensions (including nanosuspensions, microsuspensions, spray-dried dispersions), syrups, and emulsions; sublingually; buccally; parenterally, such as by subcutaneous, intravenous, intramuscular, or intrasternal injection, or infusion techniques (e.g., as sterile injectable aqueous or non-aqueous solutions or suspensions); nasally, including administration to the nasal membranes, such as by inhalation spray; topically, such as in the form of a cream or ointment; or rectally such as in the form of suppositories. They can be administered alone, but generally will be administered with a pharmaceutical carrier selected on the basis of the chosen route of administration and standard pharmaceutical practice.

The phrase “pharmaceutically acceptable” is employed herein to refer to those compounds, materials, compositions, and/or dosage forms which are, within the scope of sound medical judgment, suitable for use in contact with the tissues of human beings and animals without excessive toxicity, irritation, allergic response, or other problem or complication, commensurate with a reasonable benefit/risk ratio.

The phrase “pharmaceutically acceptable carrier” as used herein means a pharmaceutically acceptable material, composition or vehicle, such as a liquid or solid filler, diluent, excipient, manufacturing aid (e.g., lubricant, talc magnesium, calcium or zinc stearate, or steric acid), or solvent encapsulating material, involved in carrying or transporting the subject compound from one organ, or portion of the body, to another organ, or portion of the body. Each carrier must be “acceptable” in the sense of being compatible with the other ingredients of the formulation and not injurious to the patient.

The term “pharmaceutical composition” means a composition comprising a compound of the invention in combination with at least one additional pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. A “pharmaceutically acceptable carrier” refers to media generally accepted in the art for the delivery of biologically active agents to animals, in particular, mammals, including, i.e., adjuvant, excipient or vehicle, such as diluents, preserving agents, fillers, flow regulating agents, disintegrating agents, wetting agents, emulsifying agents, suspending agents, sweetening agents, flavoring agents, perfuming agents, antibacterial agents, antifungal agents, lubricating agents and dispensing agents, depending on the nature of the mode of administration and dosage forms.

Pharmaceutically acceptable carriers are formulated according to a number of factors well within the purview of those of ordinary skill in the art. These include, without limitation: the type and nature of the active agent being formulated; the subject to which the agent-containing composition is to be administered; the intended route of administration of the composition; and the therapeutic indication being targeted. Pharmaceutically acceptable carriers include both aqueous and non-aqueous liquid media, as well as a variety of solid and semi-solid dosage forms. Such carriers can include a number of different ingredients and additives in addition to the active agent, such additional ingredients being included in the formulation for a variety of reasons, e.g., stabilization of the active agent, binders, etc., well known to those of ordinary skill in the art. Descriptions of suitable pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, and factors involved in their selection, are found in a variety of readily available sources such as, for example, Allen, Jr., L. V. et al., Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy (2 Volumes), 22nd Edition, Pharmaceutical Press (2012).

The dosage regimen for solid forms of the present disclosure will, of course, vary depending upon known factors, such as the pharmacodynamic characteristics of the particular agent and its mode and route of administration; the species, age, sex, health, medical condition, and weight of the recipient; the nature and extent of the symptoms; the kind of concurrent treatment; the frequency of treatment; the route of administration, the renal and hepatic function of the patient, and the effect desired.

By way of general guidance, the daily oral dosage of each active ingredient, when used for the indicated effects, will range between about 0.001 to about 5000 mg per day, preferably between about 0.01 to about 1000 mg per day, and most preferably between about 0.1 to about 250 mg per day. Intravenously, the most preferred doses will range from about 0.01 to about 10 mg/kg/minute during a constant rate infusion. Compounds of this invention may be administered in a single daily dose, or the total daily dosage may be administered in divided doses of two, three, or four times daily.

The solid forms of the disclosure are typically administered in admixture with suitable pharmaceutical diluents, excipients, or carriers (collectively referred to herein as pharmaceutical carriers) suitably selected with respect to the intended form of administration, e.g., oral tablets, capsules, elixirs, and syrups, and consistent with conventional pharmaceutical practices.

Dosage forms (pharmaceutical compositions) suitable for administration may contain from about 1 mg to about 2000 mg of active ingredient per dosage unit. In these pharmaceutical compositions the active ingredient will ordinarily be present in an amount of about 0.1-95% by weight based on the total weight of the composition.

A typical capsule for oral administration contains at least one of the compounds of the present invention (250 mg), lactose (75 mg), and magnesium stearate (15 mg). The mixture is passed through a 60 mesh sieve and packed into a No. 1 gelatin capsule.

A typical injectable preparation is produced by aseptically placing at least one of the compounds of the present invention (250 mg) into a vial, aseptically freeze-drying and sealing. For use, the contents of the vial are mixed with 2 mL of physiological saline, to produce an injectable preparation.

The present invention includes within its scope pharmaceutical compositions comprising, as an active ingredient, a therapeutically effective amount of at least one of the compounds of the present invention, alone or in combination with a pharmaceutical carrier. Optionally, solid forms of the present disclosure can be used alone, in combination with other compounds of the invention, or in combination with one or more other therapeutic agent(s), e.g., an anticancer agent or other pharmaceutically active material.

Regardless of the route of administration selected, the solid forms of the present disclosure, are formulated into pharmaceutically acceptable dosage forms by conventional methods known to those of skill in the art.

Actual dosage levels of the active ingredients in the pharmaceutical compositions of this disclosure may be varied so as to obtain an amount of the active ingredient which is effective to achieve the desired therapeutic response for a particular patient, composition, and mode of administration, without being toxic to the patient.

The selected dosage level will depend upon a variety of factors including the activity of the compound of the present disclosure employed, the route of administration, the time of administration, the rate of excretion or metabolism of the compound, the rate and extent of absorption, the duration of the treatment, other drugs, compounds and/or materials used in combination with the compound, the age, sex, weight, condition, general health and prior medical history of the patient being treated, and like factors well known in the medical arts.

A physician or veterinarian having ordinary skill in the art can readily determine and prescribe the effective amount of the pharmaceutical composition required. For example, the physician or veterinarian could start doses of the compounds of the invention employed in the pharmaceutical composition at levels lower than that required in order to achieve the desired therapeutic effect and gradually increase the dosage until the desired effect is achieved.

In general, a suitable daily dose of compound will be that amount of compound which is the lowest dose effective to produce a therapeutic effect. Such an effective dose will generally depend upon the factors described above.

If desired, the effective daily dose of the compound may be administered as two, three, four, five, six or more sub-doses administered separately at appropriate intervals throughout the day, optionally, in unit dosage forms. In certain aspects of the invention, dosing is one administration per day.

While it is possible for a compound of the present disclosure to be administered alone, it is preferable to administer the compound as a pharmaceutical formulation (composition).

It is to be understood that exemplary descriptions written in the present tense were not necessarily performed, but rather that the descriptions can be performed to generate data and the like of a nature described therein. Efforts have been made to ensure accuracy with respect to numbers used (e.g., amounts, temperature, etc.), but some experimental errors and deviations should be accounted for.

Methods

Single Crystal Data

Single crystal X-ray data of Compound 1 MSA Salt, Form 1 was collected using a Bruker X8 APEX II CCD diffractometer equipped with a MICROSTAR-H microfocus rotating anode X-ray generator of monochromatic Cu Kα radiation (λ=1.54178 Å). The single crystal was at room temperature during data collection.

Single crystal X-ray data of Compound 1 Free Base monohydrate, Form 2 and Compound 1 Free Base, Form 4 were collected using a Bruker X8 Prospector Ultra diffractometer equipped with APEX II detector and I μS microfocus X-ray source of monochromatic Cu Kα radiation (λ=1.54178 Å). The single crystals were at room temperature during data collection.

Single crystal X-ray data for Compound 1 MSA salt hydrate Form 2 was collected using a Rigaku SuperNova diffractometer equipped with a Dectris Pilatus 200K detector and a micro-focus sealed tube X-ray generator of monochromatic Cu Kα radiation. The single crystal is at room temperature during data collection. Indexing and processing of the measured intensity data were carried out with the software suite CrysAlisPro 1.171.38.41r (Rigaku OD, 2015).

Indexing and processing of the measured intensity data were carried out with the APEX2 program suite (Bruker AXS, Inc., 5465 East Cheryl Parkway, Madison, Wis. 53711 USA). The final unit cell parameters were determined using the full data set. The structures were solved by direct methods and refined by full-matrix least-squares approach using the SHELXTL software package (G. M. Sheldrick, SHELXTL v6.14, Bruker AXS, Madison, Wis. USA.). Structure refinements involved minimization of the function defined by Σw(|F_(o)|−|F_(c)|)², where w is an appropriate weighting factor based on errors in the observed intensities, F_(o) is the structure factor based on measured reflections, and F_(c) is the structure factor based on calculated reflections. Agreement between the refined crystal structure model and the experimental X-ray diffraction data is assessed by using the residual factors R=Σ∥F_(o)|−|F_(c)∥/Σ|F_(o)| and wR=[Σw(|F_(o)|−|F_(c)|)²/Σw|F_(o)|]^(1/2). Difference Fourier maps were examined at all stages of refinement. All non-hydrogen atoms were refined with anisotropic thermal displacement parameters. Hydrogen atoms were generally calculated using idealized geometry, assigned isotropic temperature factors, and included in structure factor calculations with fixed parameters. There were a few exceptions where hydrogen atoms were located from the difference Fourier maps and refined isotropically, such as hydrogen atoms of water in Compound 1 Free Base Hydrate Form 2 structure, and acidic hydrogen atom of methanesulfonic acid in the Compound 1 MSA Salt Form 1 structure.

PXRD (PANalytical)

The PXRD pattern for amorphous Compound 1 free base and amorphous Compound 1 MSA salt was recorded on an Empyrean (PANalytical) X-ray powder diffractometer with Cu Kα radiation: λ=1.541 Å. The diffractometer was equipped with a ceramic tube which was set at the power level of 45 kV and 40 mA, and a RTMS PIXcel 1D detector. Incident optics consisted of a 0.02 rad soller slit; 10 mm beam mask; 1° antiscatter slit; and auto-divergence slit set to 10 mm illuminated length. Diffracted optics consisted of a 0.02 rad soller slit; auto-anti-scatter slit set to 10 mm illuminated length; Ni-K-Beta filter, and detector window of ˜2.9°. Data was collected in a continuous scan mode in reflectance geometry, whilst spinning, over a 20 range of 2-40°, with a step size of 0.033-040°, and net counting time of ˜317 sec/step. Greater than 200 mg of powder sample was packed in backfill sample holders.

PXRD (GADDS-NB)

Capillary

PXRD data were obtained using a Bruker C2 GADDS. The radiation was Cu Ku (40 KV, 40 mA). The sample-detector distance was 15 cm. Samples were placed in sealed glass capillaries with diameters of ≤1 mm. The capillary was rotated during data collection. Data were collected for approximately 2≤2θ≤32° with a sample exposure time of at least 1000 seconds. The resulting two dimensional diffraction arcs were integrated to create a traditional 1-dimensional PXRD pattern with a step size of 0.05 degrees 2θ in the approximate range of 2 to 32 degrees 2θ.

Solid samples were spun at 13 kHz in a 4 mm ZrO₂ rotor. The contact time was 4 milliseconds and was ramped on the proton channel from 50 to 100% (A. E. Bennett et al, J Chem. Phys., 1995, 103, 6951), (G. Metz, X. Wu and S. O. Smith, J. Magn. Reson. A., 1994, 110, 219-227). The relaxation delay was maintained at 5x ¹H Ti of API, which was 20 seconds. Proton decoupling was applied using a TPPM sequence with a 4.3 microsecond pulse (58 kHz nominal bandwidth). The spectral sweep width was 300 ppm centered at 100 ppm. 2048 data points were acquired (giving a digital resolution of 36 Hz) and zero filled to 8192 prior to apodization. 2048 free induction decays were co-added. The spectra were referenced indirectly to TMS using 3-methylglutaric acid (D. Barich, E. Gorman, M. Zell, and E. Munson, Solid State Nuc. Mag. Res., 2006, 30, 125-129). Approximately 80 mg of sample was used for each experiment. The temperature was set to 280K.

The Compound 1 MSA salt Form 1 peak solubility is 4-5 times higher in both FaSSIF and FeSSIF than the free base Form 2. This is statistically significant (p<0.05). The rate of dissolution for the Compound 1 MSA salt Form 1 in FeSSIF is 38 vs. 23 ug/mL/min. In FeSSIF, the rate and extent of dissolution increases for all APIs. The FE ratio for the MSA salt for is about 3.5, amorphous free base is 5, freebase Form 2 is ˜3.5.

Example 17: Jet-Milling

Particle size reduction can be achieved by jet milling using a 0202 Jet o Mizer loop Mill. Particle collisions are enabled by nitrogen gas supplied at high pressure to the milling chamber via two grinding nozzles. The feed rate of the drug substance into the mill is controlled by a feeder that supplies drug substance into the feed hopper of the mill at a visually consistent feed rate. High pressure nitrogen gas is supplied through the venturi nozzle to inject drug substance from the mill feed hopper into the milling chamber, and this is referred to as the venture pressure. The grinding and venturi pressures are adjusted to the desired level before the start of milling, and both are kept at the same level unless product blow back from the feed hopper is observed. The venturi pressure is typically adjusted to 10 PSI above the grinding pressure. The micronized drug substance exits via the mill chamber outlet to be collected in the product collection unit consisting of a combined cyclone and porous fabric filter media assembly. Milling parameters may be adjusted based on sample analysis. Particle sizes that range between 12.7 μm and 24.0 μm (D90 by laser-light scattering) are achieved from the milling operation. Milling parameters and physical properties are shown in the table, below.

Example 20

Amorphous Compound 1 MSA material converted to Compound 1 MSA Salt Form 1 upon heat stressing at 60° C. after 9 days. Compound 1 MSA salt monohydrate Form 2 converts to Compound 1 MSA Salt Form 1 and Compound 1 MSA Salt monohydrate form 2 after stressing at 75% relative humidity at 40 C for 6 days. Partial conversion to Compound 1 MSA salt monohydrate Form 2 at 75% relative humidity suggests that the X-ray amorphous material may have a faster conversion rate to Compound 1 MSA salt hydrate Form 2 than Compound 1 MSA salt Form 1.

Example 21: Stability—Compound 1 Free Base

Heating experiments were performed to study any form changes that might occur in Compound 1 Free Base Monohydrate Form 2, Compound 1 Free Base Form 4, and Compound 1 Free Base Amorphous.

Compound 1 Free Base Amorphous was heated between 67° C. and 150° C. No crystallization was observed. A melt/quench experiment starting with Compound 1 Free Base Form 4 resulted in a glass with a few fine, birefringent acicular particles, although the resulting XRPD pattern did not exhibit evidence of crystalline material.

Compound 1 Free Base Monohydrate Form 2 was heated at −100° C. for ˜2 hours, resulting in an observable change in birefringence but no form change by XRPD. Heating to ˜125° C. caused the sample to liquefy. Cooling of the liquid sample on dry ice produced a non-birefringent glass consistent with X-ray amorphous material. Additional heating experiments for Compound 1 Free Base Monohydrate Form 2, in which the material was heated at ˜79 to 80° C. for 1 day or at ˜75° C. under nitrogen gas flow for ˜20 hours, both caused partial conversion to other crystalline forms. Compound 1 Free Base Monohydrate Form 2 is likely the thermodynamically stable form at high relative humidity and RT.

A number of experiments were set up to explore dehydration of hydrated forms at ˜0% RH. Compound 1 Free Base Monohydrate Form 2 converted to an unstable form after an overnight hold at 0% RH.
